When we landed in Chicago, even though we had lost WiFi access by then, there was no cell signal from the time we landed to after I left the aircraft. And I wasn't the only one who couldn't get a signal.

On my ORD-IAD flight on a Wi-Fi-less 757, I could access a cell phone signal from my seat while we were sitting on the ground , and when we landed in Washington, I got a cell signal immediately, and a a strong signal during taxi to the gate.

So is it a Wi-Fi matter, or just crappy cell coverage at ORD?
